LIFE FORCE Medley

[@BrockLee3]

You can tell this guy is a TRUE gamer. Anyone can see how much he loves those games just by how much effort, time and pure love is put into everything he plays. He loves those games and it shows with how beautifully he plays.

[@acebroodstar8935]

You of all people should know how much passion and heart pays off Lee lol

[@deviousxen]

This is EXACTLY how heavy metal Life Force should sound. Bravo.

[@ふう太郎-s3k]

ヤバすぎる🔥🔥🔥

[@TheHeatYEmPlay]

2:08 When this kick in,I can pictured a Massive Wave of Flare came from top and bottom of the scene.Fascinate Stage.

[@Gelwain]

The first game I played as youngling where the OST really stood out and was memorable. Planet Ratis was the coolest song I'd ever heard, back then. Excellent job!

[@Nestalgica]

I know right, it's so unique in both its sound and feel. Planet Ratis is indeed a total badass of a tune, and Burn the Wind is even more badasser

[@finalnuts6595]

I'm..flippin

[@bastardgeorge9221]

Same this and castlevania 3. Badass games

[@dennisrounds1996]

Absolutely Killer …Beautiful

[@bujharvard9313]

For me, it was the first time I played Nemesis in the arcade. I immediately fell in love with the stage 1 music. A year or two later, I was in another arcade playing a game called Gradius. And I recognized the music. I realized that Gradius was Nemesis, so I ran to the Hills store in the mall and bought it for the NES. I was so excited that I started blabbing all about it to the cashier chick and made her giggle.

[@gideonburden2141]

fk hell this is so well done, had this on loop for some time, why can't modern games have OSTs like this

[@Gpalm]

0:01 - 1:06 - Power of Anger (Stage 1) 1:07 - 2:07 - Burn the Wind (Stage 4) 2:08 - 3:21 - Planet Raris (Stage 3) 3:22 - 3:34 - Aircraft Carrier (Boss 2) 3:35 - 4:33 - Starfield (Stage 2) 4:34 - 5:59 - Thunderbolt (Stage 5) 6:00 - 6:48 - Peace Again (Ending Theme) 6:49 - 8:11 - Poison of Snake (Boss 1) 8:12 - 9:40 - Destroy Them All (Stage 6) 9:41 - Power of Anger (Reprise)

[@Nestalgica]

Thanks for writing these out, I've included them in the description. I noticed that I made a mistake on the last track though; it's "Power of Anger (Reprise)" and not "Burn The Wind (Reprise)".

[@Gpalm]

@@Nestalgica

[@herbbot8241]

Thunderbolt was my favorite amazing track and those fire birds so memorable loved this game thanks!!

[@Gpalm]

​@@Nestalgica Also, for the timecodes to be displayed in the youtube player - you must write 0:00 instead of 0:01 in the first timecode, this is my mistake, because I did not think that you would add timecodes to the description

[@judsongaiden9878]

Is 'Poison of Snake' also called 'Teto Ran'?

[@Peter_Morris]

Oh that was wonderful! Well done! I have been playing Life Force for over 30 years now (now on my Switch), and it’s one of my favorite BGM of all time.

[@Nestalgica]

Thank you! Yes I have trouble putting into words just how good this soundtrack is, so I did a medley instead. Cheers dude, keep the force alive for another 30!

[@acebroodstar8935]

As a gamer saddened at the fact I was stuck on this game near the end, your covers are igniting a fire that was long extinguished. Much love and props 😊

[@AniSepherd972]

my fav shoot em up! bgms were amazing

[@AngusBull2112]

So glad to see these guys give an under appreciated game like this some love.

[@knvs2931]

Lifeforce always did have a banger boss track. I almost always wanted to prolong the boss fights just to rock to it.

[@lloydlayson6416]

Same here.

[@acebroodstar8935]

Ah the "here's where it begins and ends" reprisal. That cast a warm feeling upon me, now to go conquer Life Force

[@Nestalgica]

Nothing like coming home. Go. Play!

[@acebroodstar8935]

@@Nestalgica Will do friend, will do 😊

[@tonyvillarreal1812]

I just got the arcade game version Salamander downloaded. What perfect timing. 👍 Im playing this in the background.

[@Nestalgica]

Awesome, destroy them all!

[@xsnys13]

As someone who’s covered a couple game tunes myself, these are phenomenal work. Definitely the heaviest covers of all Life Force covers.

[@MiscFightVids]

Check out Vomitron. Not saying they are better or not, but definitely heavier. I like both equally.

[@rogue-like4life]

This used to be my least favorite Vomitron song until it eventually grew on me. I absolutely love Vomitron and Nestalgica.

[@ilyadurnev5586]

For me it is always stage 5 "thunderbolt". True masterpiece

[@kcottone]

When I was a little kid the only NES games my dad would play with me were Life Force and Contra. Lots of great memories of us barely getting through the game even with the Konami Code.

[@Hidede-devil]

カッコいいメドレーだ😆👍️

[@nftking7364]

This has a Jordan Rudess prog rock feeling to it. Amazing!!

[@กุลธรอ่อนฉ่ํา]

8:12 my favorite part perfect melody

[@Dejawolfs]

still great stuff, man i used to play this game to death and beyond.

[@vincentlee8787]

Even compared to some of the legendary OSTs (Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania, Zelda, Megaman), Miki Higashino's work is one of the best soundtracks on the NES beginning to end. It has absolutely no weak links. It's a testament to this that nearly every track is someone's favorite in the comments below. You absolutely crushed these covers, and this is the version I come back to.

[@Counterbalance_]

Great game with a great OST, and the cover is just perfect!

[@djmantra]

Salamander (1986) / Lifeforce (1987), the best soundtrack ever!! I was 12, when played for first time this game, and wow... the stereo sound of this arcade machine, blowed my mind..... still to present day. Perfect medley, amazing work! greetings from Chile!

[@salvacionkoch6039]

I was 6 in 1987 and played the game for the first time, it was Salamander with 3 options 😊

[@ryancourt9115]

I've listened to this 60 times since yesterday and finished the game 3 times. This is simply magic

[@sergeytretiakov8832]

Великолепно, атмосфера детства 90х,просто непередаваемое

[@Naddoniz]

Hell yeah! This soundtrack is epic!

[@Nestalgica]

You're right about that dude!

[@Naddoniz]

@@Nestalgica I will sometimes drive around and listen to this soundtrack. Original 8-bit version and metal covers. It's so damn good!

[@lake258]

this is how i remember it 1000% no lies

[@diegobm1009]

I loved it. this game is amazing

[@gfkgrgrkm]

I can hear the sound effects of the boss, great video👍👍

[@wangfred3762]

The best Lifeforce NES remix band was here!!

[@NorthenTasawwuf]

Hands down the best cover version of these songs! That is to say, utilising all that modernity has to offer, yet preserving and expressing the songs as they are. I had in mind just such a thing a year or so ago since I often found the covers to be lacking.

[@drakonolus7922]

Very Accurate to the Originals. Very well done Dude !!!!

[@Nestalgica]

Thanks a lot! 💥

[@vladbio8473]

The best version forever! Br

[@irfanherdiyana2105]

Greetings from Indonesia.. Im a big fan of Gradius Series, thanx to bring me this medley.. I Love the 'Thunderbolt' song, by the way.. and can't wait to hear gradius 1 soundtracks.. 🙏

[@irfanherdiyana2105]

And love the 'Starfield' stage too.. Proud Born at 80' when NES always singing trough my old TV..

[@le5hloni]

Amazing work, I literally got goosebumps when the second son dropped 💯💯💯

[@kruth6663]

One of the best video game sound tracks of all time. Awesome cover!

[@avilde]

Excellent job on the medley, Chris! Huge thanks for make it )

[@Zilch79]

Fucking awesome work! Every song on this cartridge is a *slammer*, and your versions are absolutely top notch.

[@XelchanTheBrave]

This slaps so hard!!!!

[@KNGINetwork]

GodDAMN this soundtrack is incredible. Thunderbolt in particular is such an amazing tune. Great work, man!

[@Mytischi_Style]

Amazing music from the game of my childhood) Sounds like a some kind of epic power metal)

[@johnfreeman7444]

absolutely astounding job. life force is still one of my all time favorites.

[@Ic3psycho]

perfect in every single way

[@tonyc416]

This is the BEST ive heard!! even better than the actual remake games. This is perfect!! Not changed too much like the game remake music but this is just right! Has your creativity but still stays true to the 8bit NES original composition! Absolutely fantastic! Subscribing with no doubt! Well done!!

[@azuretigers5562]

I played this game once or twice - never quite payed any attention to the soundtrack...but because of you, now I do.

[@sabahoudini]

Holy shit, this is the most epic version. Sounds exactly like the original version does in my head.

[@PetrPss]

So epic

[@jadr03]

Best medley EVER

[@sunjoexys7251]

My favorite BGM from the NES era.

[@mjolnir_swe]

Loved this game. Nice covers.

[@TheRetroMess]

Played this allllllll the time as a kid. It was my main NES game of choice. I LOVE the soundtrack! The only gripe I have with it is that it's too short. Hell, the game is too short. I kinda wish there was an "extended" fan-made soundtrack that was inspired by the original like how they do it for movies. New songs that sound like they just FIT with the game.

[@Nestalgica]

Same here, but was never able to beat it without the code even though it's quite short.

[@AndyGaskin]

Incredible soundtrack, great cover!!

[@ninjacon7299]

Sweet

[@omu_omuomu]

Oh great arrange!

[@elimond1183]

Sooooo cool thanks I love that game and your nailing the music 👌

Dude.... This is the most metal ever \m/

[@tremeomeridian]

Ohhhhhhhh wow this is really amazing. EXCELLENT JOB THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[@PinoyGuitarTutorials]

Starfield is always my favorite!

[@powercoder]

This is certainly the best NES soundtracks remix that I heard so far, next is Contra remix!

[@jimmyjams70]

Very cool that you released this as I am patiently waiting for RightousNES to drop. You are the only guy who’s covers are in the same league as Vomitrons IMO. Thanks to you and Pete Rutcho, I need hearing aids at 40. No regrets though. Rock on friends.

[@haolevelup]

I love this game!

[@Nestalgica]

You and me both

[@Jeremy-kg1zr]

OMFG. This is So good! And now I wanna play Life Force.

[@slibah]

This is amazing 10/10! I am so happy I found this channel. I am also happy that it is lifeforce that you made a longer medley

[@Nestalgica]

Kickass dude, glad you liked it! More NES medleys to come

[@QixIceni]

First off, THIS IS AWESOME. Second, every time I think of playing Lifeforce, it reminds me of my friend's older sister who walked through the front door and shouted, "THAT B*TCH SOLD ME A LEFT HANDED VIOLIN!!!"...... lol.... There was context to that that I later found out but OMG, we had to pause the game laughing our asses off. Good memories. I miss the 80's so much.

[@andrescurtooliva9922]

Amazing!!!! This game has absolutely great sound tracks, and these covers are the perfect ones

[@rawkfistgaming]

You always bring us the good stuff, man! I still can't thank you enough for your covers of two of my (sometimes frowned on) favorite games growing up. Fester's Quest and Snake's Revenge. Stay awesome and keep doing all the epic things!

[@Nestalgica]

My pleasure Mr. Gonzalez! Been thinking of doing the sewer theme from Fester's. Maybe for Halloween since it's pretty spooky

[@rawkfistgaming]

@@Nestalgica - Been slapping myself in the face with this one again, and it NEVER gets old, lol... Got something you might dig. Cue up "Poison of Snake" and then get a video up on YT of Thargoid combat in Elite: Dangerous. They fit VERY well together. Any chance for an OG TMNT (not the arcade) title theme? I speedrun the game, and it would be dank to have some of your musical tastiness representing it!
